After graduating from Francis Howell High School in 1979, Danny worked at Schnucks in different positions for 46 years.
Danny had many interests mostly involving being outdoors with his family or friends. He loved watching sports and never missed a St. Louis Cardinal's baseball game, a St. Louis Blue's hockey game, Kansas City Chief's football, or Mizzou football game. His passion for the outdoors led to many fishing trips, hunting excursions and countless camping trips.

I worked with Danny for several years at the K and N Schnucks. He did some outside brick work for me years ago that is still standing today. Sorry for your loss and may peaceful days come to you soon. Diane Taylor
